    I have a delayed gratification mindset too and saving very aggressively for my retirement which means I have to sacrifice some luxuries.

    Here I am talking about the other type of people who belong to the "general public". No matter what you say about poor judgements of other people its a reality. How many times have you overheard questions like "so how is it living in there?"

    I reckon that's a good way to be, as long as you don't delay it too much. It's nice to enjoy the journey as well.
    We try to celebrate the small accomplishments along the way, while keeping in mind the bigger picture.

    Not since my brother moved to Sydney 25 years ago!
    Living and working in Moreton Bay, I am the low class.

    They have jobs up there now? ;)
    What sort of employment options are there in the area, is there a "CBD" like office area?

    North Lakes would be the next CBD. You know there are no buildings in the water. Shouldn't you be working?

    We have schools in most suburbs. Now go write out fifty times, "I must be nice to Ms Angel."

    I could handle living up there if I could get a job there.
    I really should...

    Hey, that is me being nice ;)
    I'm always nice to you Ms Angel.

    They're a tin containing multiple bins, and therefore very useful cleaning up the mess after a Trump presidency. :p

    Ah Ok.
    Might need the same amount of body bags if Hilary gets in.
